A/N: `I don't own any of it except for maybe a few characters. I owe the credit to J.K. Rowling for Harry Potter and Gang and to Lolly Phoenix for a
few of her ideas.

On with the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 2: At the Burrow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione arrived back at The Burrow everyone but Mr. and Mrs. Weasley went up to Ron and Harry's room. Once they got there Ron asked Harry if he had opened his gift Harry said that he didn't because he was waiting to get there to open them. Harry then sat down opened his trunk, pulled out the gift and then opened them.

"Thanks you guys I love them."

"Hey you're welcome Harry." Said Ron.

"Yea your welcome." Said Hermione.

"Yea what they said." Said Ginny.

After Harry finished opening his gifts Mrs. Weasley called them down for supper. They all went down stairs sat down at the table and began to eat.

"Harry, how was your summer?" asked Mr. Weasley.

" Good my Aunt Petunia asked me to stop my uncle from hurting anyone ever
again."

"Did it work?"

"Yea, I was surprised it did, but it worked."

" How did you do it?"

" I made it in liquid form, it was colorless and odorless, so my uncle wouldn't be able to detect it on his food Aunt Petunia helped because as she was setting out the plates for dinner she added it to his food.

"Wow. Did it take long to make?"

"No, only about 2 days."

"Cool. Would you mind sharing any of it?"

"Actually I would because I don't want it getting into the wrong hands. This way I can prevent Lord Voldemort from getting his hands on it and stopping me from killing him. Especially since I will probably have to fight him whether I want to or not. I also don't want anybody who doesn't
know what they are doing because maybe they don't know how to use the ingredients. Do you understand where I am coming from?"

"Yea, I understand especially when it comes to Voldemort."

After dinner Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went outside to practice quidditch. Harry and Hermione stayed on the ground. Harry gave instructions on where to be to Ron and Ginny. Harry coached them and taught them new plays and moves that he would eventually teach to the rest of the team.

" Ron move forward a bit."

"Ok Harry."

" Ginny move from side to side more."

"Ok Harry."

After practice Ginny and Hermione went to their room and Ron and Harry to theirs. When Ron and Harry got to their room they got ready for bed, then sat on their beds and chatted. After they finished chatting Harry went to bed and began to dream.

Harry was still at Hogwarts but his friends were no longer his friends, they were different somehow but Harry couldn't figure it out.

Harry didn't want to wake up the next morning because he wanted to find out what exactly what was going on in his dreams. After Harry woke up and got dressed, Ron woke up and got dressed and they went down to eat breakfast where Ginny, Hermione, and the twins were already finishing up eating.

"Hey Harry, do you think you are up for some quidditch today?"

" Yea as long as I'm allowed to coach."

"We were hoping you'd give that a rest for a day and just play a game with us."

"I guess I could but only for today."

"Great we'll go get ready."

"Fine."

After the twins left Harry sat down to eat.

" Ron would you mind if I played quidditch instead of going to Diagon Alley
today?"

"Sure, I was going to play anyway, how about that?"

"That's fine."

" Ok I'll go get ready then."

"Yea I should too. I'm just going to finish eating."

"Ok."

After Ron left so did Ginny and Hermione. As they were leaving they were whispering in each other's ear and giggling. After Harry finished eating he got up to go get changed. After he changed he went and joined everybody outside.

" Hey I'm ready to play."

"Alright let's go."

They played until Mrs. Weasley called them in to wash up for dinner. They all came in sat down and ate dinner. After dinner Harry and Ron went up stairs and played chess for awhile. After they finished playing they went to bed. Not soon after Harry went to sleep he began to dream again.

Harry was still on school grounds but no longer in the building. He was wandering around
Hagrid's hut Hagrid wasn't acting like himself he was yelling and throwing things at Fang.

Harry woke up to find Ron standing over him with a weird look on his face like he was scared of Harry or at least what Harry must have been yelling.

"Harry are you ok?"

"Yea I'm fine why?"

" You sounded like you were really angry at Hagrid but you wouldn't say why."

"Yea I remember yelling at him but I didn't know I was yelling where everyone could hear me."

" Yea you were. So what were you dreaming about anyway?"

" I don't know. I'm not exactly sure. I don't remember."

" Hey if you don't want to tell me that's fine."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you it's just that I can't remember."

" Are you serious?"

" Yes, I'm serious, Ron."

"All right that's ok."

Harry then got up to get dressed when an owl flew in the window with a letter for both him and Ron. As soon as he could the handwriting was from Hogwarts. He also knew it was their school lists because it was about 2 weeks before the start of their 7th year.

" Hey Ron here is your school letter."

"Thanks for throwing me my letter."

"You're welcome. When do you want to do the shopping?"

" Today I guess. Just so we can get it over and done with."

" All right today it is."

After they decided that they were going shopping today they went and collected everybody and left.
